Beginners Guide to Mosaic Crochet - Lesson 2 The Charts

Hi everyone, I'm Tina and today it's time for our second

lesson

in my

guide

to patchwork

crochet

for

beginners

. Last time I showed you how to work the basic stitches which are incredibly easy, as I hope you knew if you've seen it. and today I wanted to show you how to work with my graphs, so I'm great, so I really like working with visual graphs instead of written patterns. I try to make all my patterns both written and graphical but some are just graphical but it's really easy to use and I'm going to show you how to make the first pattern of my indiana afghan so today we're going to make this little sample here and it's really easy and fun to make and once you get the Hang the Charts it's pretty cool at least that's what it was for me, I mean I would prefer the

charts

over the written instructions.

Once you know how to figure them out, which is really easy, then you'll be hooked, hopefully. I just want to show you my Indian afghan here, so the Indian afghan comes with seven patterns and today I'm going to show you just the first one, this one here like zigzag or wavy lines, yeah, and the pattern is available like all my patterns in my store ravelry, where you will find the link in the description below, if you need help with my patterns, consider joining my Facebook group, the tina

crochet

club, you will also find the link in the description below and yes.

I'm so excited to continue our

lesson

s and I just want to show you a couple more possibilities of what you can do with patchwork crochet before we get started. Here I have the work in progress, my tools that I really like but that are growing. pretty slow because it's hooked on a three millimeter hook and finger weight yarn, but I still love it and don't worry about the ends. Actually, lesson three in the beginner's

guide

to patchwork crochet that I'm doing is going to be how to do the double border. and I'm just going to show you here quickly this is my casablanca and all the ants are sandwiched inside the double border and that will be the next class you guys so this is the casablanca baby this is a big casablanca like you can see I like the vibrant colors and I also have my tall blanket here that I want to show you, which is just little waves, this was like a little baby blanket and this is the other option obviously for all the ants it's just making the twisted frames. which can be a lot of fun and I thought it was perfect for this one actually because I thought you know it's a baby blanket so it's fun for babies to have something to hold on to yeah but I already have the tutorial on how to make the The twisted stripe and double border will be lesson number three, but today is lesson number two and it's all about how to read my

charts

, which are actually super easy.

I can't wait to show them to you again if you have any comments or input or what you would do. I would like to see what follows or if I should do something different. I'm very open to that and I always love getting feedback from your guys, so it's a lot of fun, so I think that's it, let's get to it, so it's time for lesson two. from the crochet patchwork beginner's guides so today what I want to show you is how to read the crochet patchwork charts and they're actually okay this is the way I make them anyway so they're really easy and easy to use to work with and I actually prefer working with charts than written patterns but I try to do both in my patterns but some are just loaded patterns so the way they work is each square here represents one stitch and here, in the first column, then you only have the number of rows, yes, and at the end here you have the color a or b because it is always two colors, uh, when I work with mohs, I crochet and yes, please see my first lesson About technique and basics, this is the part. two then and then these here you can see the key, the key of the symbol here, so when the box is empty, then you work a single crochet there and when there is an x ​​in the box, then you work a double crochet there and then we have these two symbols here, which is this one at the beginning, which is the edge point at the beginning of the row and then the edge point at the end of the row and usually the way that I'm going to place my patterns, uh, the graphics . is I'll do this is a repeat here you see, but usually if I can I'll include a second one so you can see what it should look like so this is one repeat and then there's a second repeat and then here at the end we have an extra point to do it symmetrical, yes, so I'm going to show you how to work with my graphics using this pattern, the first pattern of my Indian blanket and this is what it looks like. when it is crocheted and you can do anything with this, you could make a blanket with just this pattern or pillows or whatever you have, to crochet with me you will need two balls of wool, I recommend using a light color so you can see easily. your stitches, something that you feel comfortable working with, you can use whatever I'm using, iron weight here and a 4.5 millimeter hook, and then you'll need scissors as well, so let's get started and for the indiana pattern, it's always a 12 stitch repeat and I'm going to do two repeats with you just to get a good sample so you can see and so you would always do it, if you're going to do a bigger one then you would just use a 12 stitch multiplication so you can do 24 or you can do 36 etc always a quick multiplication of 12 stitches and then you add four extra stitches to that when you chain so we're going to start here now chaining 28 chains and for this here we always use two colors in patchwork crochet and to color a here I am using white and for color b blue exactly the same as in the table, so let's start and to make your sample you will need to start by chaining 28 chains, there are 28 chains that I have here and I hope you have the same ones and let's continue with row one, so when we start, you can see here that this is row one and it says then a border point at the beginning of the row and then all the boxes are blank and if the boxes behind it are blank, that it means there's a single crochet stitch there so all the stitches in row one are actually single crochet stitches and we made 28 chains and in this first row then I'm going to make 27 single crochet stitches because we can't do the first one here Yes, so just go to the second chain from your hook and start working your single crochets there, one single crochet in each stitch.

Okay, now I'm going to the Okay, all the way, here now just one more, so this will be number 27, but obviously if you're making a blanket, then you can make it longer, just always say that the repetition of your final stitch count should be a repetition of twelve points and more. three because it was already plus four in the chaining and chaining, but then we skipped a chain here at the beginning, so this is two times twelve plus three additional stitches for row one and at the end of the row as I already showed you in In Crochet tile we always work from the front so now we just cut and then make a chain here at the end and bring it all the way up and hold it nice and tight because we're not going to work on this chain like this. it's just to have a little extra security here at the end, so that was row one, just 27 nice, easy single crochets in row two and if we look at the charts again now, I really really like putting these post-its in look where I am and I'm going to put them up here so what's up just place them like this and then you can see the row that you're working on so this is row two and now to the part where the only thing that might actually be get confused because it's very easy to work with these graphics, but what you really have to focus on is not doing it, it doesn't matter what color the box is, the only thing you have to do. focus on whether it's empty or there's a double quote, there's an x ​​there, so x is for double crochet, uh, empty is for single crochet and then you see the blue here.

I just put the blue to color how, so you know what it's supposed to. what it will look like once you've crocheted, yes, to show you the pattern, but it's always only one color per row in Moscow crochet, which is actually one of my favorite things about patchwork crochet is that you're only working with one color, but still I can make all these beautiful patterns so row one was white as you can see here color a and then row two is blue color b and it's just the border point here at the beginning of the row and then they're all squares in white, so they are all low points. and then the edge stitch at the end of the row, so I'm going to show you how to do that for row two here now, so the edge stitch and again I show you this whole technique very slowly and thoroughly in the first lesson so that you can come back to that if you need extra help with this, but the edge stitch at the beginning of the row, then we work into both loops of our stitch, not like the rest of the patchwork crochet because these two edge stitches aren't actually part of it. of the pattern, they stay out of the pattern just to make the edges softer, so insert the hook into the first stitch uh on the right, always from the right, where you started from the right, if you are left-handed, then start from the left. and go to the right, so pull the thread up, leave a little bit of tail about two inches and two inches, make a chain to hold it and then a single crochet in both loops of this same first stitch of the row, so let this be the edge stitch at the beginning of the row which is always the same and then according to the diagram we are just going to do all the single crochets in this row and remember that in patchwork crochet all the single crochets go right in the back loop, you see it.

It has two loops, the front and the back and in patchwork crochet all the single crochets must go only in the back loop and that is to leave the front loop for our double crochets later so row two of this first indiana pattern are just single crochets, so there's a border stitch at the beginning and then we do 25 single crochets in the back loop just of each stitch, okay, 25 and now we're in the chart, we're here, you see, we've done 25. single crochets because it's all white and then we have the edge stitch at the end of the row and that is always worked the same way.

Be careful not to go into this chain here that was just to fasten it, so it's the last single crochet of the row. that's the edge stitch at the end of the row insert your hook into both loops just to get a tighter, neater edge make a single crochet there cut the yarn and make a chain at the end here and just pull it all the way to the end like this and then you want to secure it well, so that was the second row, it's an edge stitch at the beginning of the row 25 single crochets all in the back loops so they go, we leave these front loops here, as you see, and then an edge sew to the end of the row, so row two moved to row three, so I already moved my post-it here.

It's very useful to use it to mark the row where you are and I always like to put it at the top so I can see where my stitches go and here you'll see that in row 2 we have some x's and that means there's a double crochet so if I'm going to read the box with you here just before we start To show you, this is the row, we have row three, then the edge point at the beginning of the row and then we have two blank boxes and it doesn't matter that one is blue, one is blue and the other is white, it's just that they are blank.

So it's two single crochets here and then come one two three four five six seven eight nine double crochets and then again here three single crochets blue white what do you have? They're all empty so they're single crochets and again nine double crochets and then two two single crochets here at the end and the edge stitch so let's go back to this now we're working with the color a which is white here and we start the same as always with the edge point at the beginning of the row. your hook under both loops pass the yarn through a chain, a chain and a single crochet in the same point which is the edge stitch and then we had three single crochets.

Wow, I'm just going to leave this here, we're not sorry, two one and two single crochets, so there's one here and remember the single crochets always go into the back loop one and two and then we had the nine stitches here double crochet and, as you know from lesson one in crochet patchwork, double crochet stitches always go down one row to yarn over, check where the next stitch is from the last row to where you would normally go, and down one row toward the front loop from that point there and that's why we're always doing our low points. in the back loop to leave those front loops for a double crochet and now I have here nine double crochet stitches in a row, throw one row down into the front loop, pull through, pull through two and pull through two, just a regular double. crochet the only thing that is a little different is that we are going to go down a row and as you can see the effect that this has is that we are covering the blue with these double crochets two four six seven eight and nine so that is now nine double crochets and They have covered all the next blue in the pattern.

I've done this nine here and now it's one, two, three single crochets and then nine again and yeah, be careful when you do it, especially when we're doing a lot of double crochets in a row like this one here, so we have tobe careful not to increase, we want the same number of stitches throughout the pattern, so it's good, so when you first start, it lines up perfectly and you see here that this is the next stitch that we're supposed to work on this one here , it really lines up, but just to be sure, check here. on the back and then there should be because you made nine double crochets here, there should be nine stitches here behind that are not knitted in one two three four five six seven eight nine and I'm going to work on this one here but like You can see that it really it lines up perfectly and you know once you get used to it you don't have to count the ones in the back, but it's good at first just to make sure it's right so the next ones are three single crochets. stitches all in the back loop and then another nine double crochets and again yarn, you find the next stitch that you would normally enter and you just keep going down and enter the one below and everyone is entering. each and every dot is all in a row here four five six seven eight and nine again check that you have nine dots back here, but they actually line up so it's pretty obvious where it's supposed to go Next and now we're done this row with two single crochets.

The single crochets always go into the back loop and then the edge stitch at the end of the row. Remember that we are not going to enter the chain. The last point is the last one. crochet and there's a single crochet, cut the yarn and chain all the way to the end just to make it nice and secure here, so that's row three, we did the edge stitch, we did two single crochets and then nine double crochets, three single crochet here, nine double crochet. knit two single crochets and then the edge stitch, so from the third round to the fourth round, the fourth row sorry, again I moved my post-it here so we can see and read the squares before we start.

We have the edge stitch at the beginning of the row, then we have one that is blank, which is a single crochet and then we have a double crochet because there is an x ​​there and then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine single crochet again, just ignore if this is in the box. It's blue or white, that doesn't matter, that's the only thing you focus on: there's an That's also why I painted so you can see where they go. This double crochet goes down a row, so it goes here and there's a blank space which is a single crochet, a double crochet down and then again nine single crochets here over all of our double crochets from the last row, one crochet high, a single crochet and the edge stitch at the end of the row, okay, so row nine name row four and now we are working again with color b, all the even number rows are color b and all the odd. the number rows are color a and a is the main color actually and b is the pattern color so b is blue here the pattern comes in blue okay we insert our hook into both loops of the edge stitch at the beginning of the row, make one chain here to fasten and then a single crochet in the same point which is the edge point and now we had a single crochet and that goes to the back loop here and then we had a double crochet and it's always very nice when you do it . just with two colors, so you can see that your double crochet stitches always go the same color that you have on your hook, so now I have blue here on my hook, so I know I'm going to use one of these blue ones. stitches here and then you yarn over now there's a double crochet, you yarn over you find the states that you would normally go to this one here and you just follow it down and it's this one here that we're going to yarn over over a pull down pass the thread once, pull the thread through two and pull the thread through two so that there is a double crochet, the next one is nine single crochet stitches and they will go through all the double crochet stitches of the last row and just remember that all the The single crochets have to go into the back loop, only it's very important, that's really the only thing you need to remember when working with side crochet.

Well, this was the ninth one and then here we're going to have a double crochet, a single crochet in the middle and a double crochet here, so yarn over here to this one, do your double crochet here and then the next one is a single crochet and always be careful to leave this point here behind you, you don't want to work your single point on this one. one and then everything is crooked, so you have to be careful to leave this stitch back here without working it, otherwise you will get both, the pattern will ask you and you would be increasing, which we don't want to do. you enter this here the middle one a single crochet here yarn and a dc here and then nine single crochets in the nine double crochets of the last row eight and nine and then to finish the row we finish it in the same way to reflect what we started , we do a double crochet here and then a single crochet and then the edge stitch in both loops here a single crochet cutting the thread and making a chain and pulling it up, so okay, so that was the fourth row . to row five, let's start with the graph again, since this is what I want to show you here, it's really how to work with my graph, so we see here, now I moved the posted one up, so we're on row five. we start with a border stitch at the beginning of the row, the next one is an x, so there's a double crochet there and then there's one, two, three single crochets, these are all blank and then one, two, three, four, five double crochets, one, two, three single crochets. one double crochet down here three single crochets five double crochets three single crochets and one double crochet and then we finish with the edge stitch at the end of the row so as you can see these charts are actually very easy to use or I hope you do. be.

I hope they are because graphics are very nice to work with. I like it, I like working with visual charts rather than actually written patterns. Well, row five is an odd number row, so let's do the main color again. I start with a border stitch at the beginning of the row and then there was a double crochet, so row nine, now row five, I always say just row nine, dear sir, okay, row five starts with a double crochet , so when you knit the yarn over, you find where the next one is. The point is and you follow that down here and you come in blank because we have white on our hook, so we're going to know that we're going to work the double crochet in a wide stitch, pass the yarn over one yarn over, pass through two. and the yarn over goes through two like this, so it's a double crochet, the next one is three single crochets, so the first one lands here in the double crochet and then two and three, okay, and now we have five double crochets and then we do the yarn over and go down a row like this and do one, two, three, four and five, oh yeah, and one thing I get asked a lot, you see how these stitches open up here now when I'm working them, but don't worry .

All of this will even out itself when we keep seeing when when I'm not working them they lay down like this okay so it was five double crochets and then the next three single crochets one always in the back loop two and three and now we're in the middle part here and then we do a double crochet here in the middle between the two single crochets from the last row to here a double crochet there and then again three single crochets two and three and five double crochets, that was the fifth and now we do three single crochet here and that's the end of our second repeat and then we have an extra stitch here at the end to mirror the beginning, so we do a double crochet here at the end. and then there's the edge stitch at the end of the row, always in both loops of the last single crochet of the row, like this and then cut the thread and make a part of a chain here and pull it up just to secure here.

In the end, okay, as you can see, the pattern is emerging and this is really the whole trick with patchwork crochet. If you did the first lesson with me, then you may remember that we were doing these Apache levels and in the Apache levels, so we always have just one double crochet, we never have many double crochets in a row, so we'll do that one here, but the magic of crochet

mosaic

is you can really make any pattern you want because with these double crochet stitches you're always hiding the blue behind and so you can you can it's incredibly versatile so as you can see here now our pattern is emerging and that was the row five through row six, let's look at the graph first before we start.

I move the post-it up again, so here we have row six and there's the edge stitch at the beginning of the row, then we have one, two, three blank and that's three single crochets, then one double crochet, one two, three, four, five single crochets, one double crochet. crochet one two three four five single crochets one double crochet five crochet one double crochet and three single crochets and then the edge stitch at the end of the row okay so let's get to it this is row six so that's it the row of even numbers and that is the pattern color again. and obviously it's always just white blue white blue, you always do it striped, so we start with the edge stitch at the beginning of the row, a chain and a single crochet in it and always in both loops because that's not part of the pattern and now we start by doing three single crochets and these always go in the back loop two and three and then we do a single crochet and we just follow that one here, so this is the one that you would normally go in and Just keep going down and go into this one of here like this and then you make five single crochets over all the double crochets of the last row, which is the fifth.

Look, and then there's a high point and that goes down like this, another five low points. crochet stitches and then there is another dc here and then you yarn over and go down to the blue, okay and then there are five single crochets and now we do a double crochet and to finish the repetition we do two single crochets and then we add one here. at the end to get the symmetry so it's three here at the end at the end and then we do the edge stitch at the end of the row and the last chain just to hold it like this so that's row six oh and one thing that I I usually get this question when people start working patterns that have a lot of DC's in a row like these here and you get these kind of pockets from the back, but don't worry, this is all correct and I will make a mental note to show you this now, uh in the intro, how they look from the back, you won't really notice it enough now, it looks like little pockets here, but once you get everything, oh, I got it.

Here I can show you, so once everything has worked, then it won't work. If I like to pull it, you'll be able to see them, but once you've locked it in, you won't notice it and then you'll just get it. see from some angle so you can see it, but it's all good so it's just to make sure this is pretty correct the way it's supposed to look like this from the back and this is the front so this was the row six and we continue with row seven, this little pattern has thirteen rows, just in case you're wondering, well, let's start by reading the chat, the box here, this is the edge stitch at the beginning of the row and there are two blank ones. ones, then it's two single crochets one just they're empty so it's single crochet, double crochet, three single crochet, double crochet, three single double and then two here at the end and then the edge stitch okay easy PC and as you can see this matches with what's happening here, so you see this here. this is what's happening here, okay, so we move on to row seven and we're using the main color again here, white, and as always we start with the edge stitch at the beginning of the row, a chain of single crochet and a single crochet in the same point and then two single crochets come, so one here always in the back loop, you and two, and now we have a double crochet and we're working with white, so we know we're going to go to white. here and then there are three single crochets, one the first goes to the double crochet and two and three and now we are going to do a double crochet and that lands in the middle of the five double crochets from the second to the last row.

So, this is a symmetrical pattern, so you should know the type of pattern that guides you, which was a single double crochet there and then we do three single crochets, the last one lands here on the double crochet and now. we do a double crochet going down towards the white, three single crochets so you can hear this, the repetition here is always three single crochets and a double crochet and then there is a double crochet and that one goes down here again three singles first one in the double crochet and now we go back to the center here to the center of these five here and then we are going to do a double crochet in the center one and again three single crochets always in the back loop and then there is a double crochet and that one goes down here and then we finish with two crochets lows like this and then there is the edge stitch at the end of the row always on both loops so that the edge is a little cleaner and sturdier and a chain hook all the way up and tighten it tight, so it went from row seven to row row eight and as you can see here, this is what's happening, it looks the same, yeah, and I'm going to read the chart with you in each row, so we start row eight here with theedge stitch and then the repeat is a single crochet here a double crochet one two three single crochet single double crochet three single crochet and then a double crochet and then there is another repetition of the same and then we finish and add an additional single crochet here at the end , remember that this column here is the extra point to make it symmetrical with the beginning, yeah, and then we have the edge point at the end of the row, okay, let's start with that now that we're at it.

Using the pattern color again, they are even numbers and in the last row we use white, so in this one we use the blue border stitch at the beginning of the row, as always, each row starts and ends exactly the same and now we have a low point and a high point. and that one goes down here and then we have three single crochets the first one goes here in the double crochet one and two and three and now we're going to do a double crochet here on this side of this double crochet a single crochet in this one and then another double crochet here on this side, so we're framing this one, so double crochet here single crochet in the double crochet and then another double crochet on the other side, okay, and now we have three single crochets. stitches, the last one lands here in the double crochet and now we are going to do again double, single, double, so the yarn over, do a double crochet here, single crochet in the middle and double crochet again, okay, and now the second , repeat one, two, three single crochets.

The first one was in the double crochet here and then we knit the yarn over and we're going to make a double crochet here. A single crochet in the double crochet and a double crochet on the other side, so again we're framing this one here and now we make three. single crochet the last one lands here on the double and then we do a double crochet and that was the last last of the reps and then the extra stitch here now is a single crochet here and then the edge stitch which is row eight and now You're getting it, you're seeing the little baby lines here, the zigzags in row nine, let's go over the graph and move the post-it up here, so here we have row nine, we start with an edge point at the beginning of the row. and there's a double crochet that goes down here one two three single crochets a double three single a double three single and we repeat this again and then we have a double crochet here at the end and the edge stitch, yes, row nine like all the rows of odd numbers are with the main color I'm using white here and we start as before with the edge stitch at the beginning of the row a chain a single crochet in the same stitch and now the first stitch of this repeat here now is a double crochet like this that we make the yarn over, we go down a row here towards the white, we make a double crochet and now there are three single crochets, two and three, the first one was in the dc and then two and three and now we make a double crochet here just before. this and then a single crochet goes to the first sc here from the last row two and the third single crochet here in the second and now again we do a double crochet and then three single crochets and that is a repetition done at that time and then do it again, a double crochet goes here between these two and then we have three single crochets, the first one in dc three and then a double crochet here before the first dc, three single crochets over these here, the first one is in dc and the third it's in the dc too and then we do a double crochet down here and now we do three single crochets the third one lands on the dc and then the extra stitch here at the end of the row after the repeat is a double crochet here and then we do the fourth knit and a chain and we pull it all the way up, so that's row nine to row 10.

Let's look at the box first, so this is row 10 and we start with the edge stitch and there are three blanks, like this which are three single crochets, one double crochet here, one two, three, four, five single crochets, one double crochet, one double crochet and one two, three, four, five single, one double, five single, one double and then three simple here and then the edge point on the At the end of the round, the row is okay and as we can see, always on the edge point here we can see the color that we're using, so now I'm using the color of the pattern, the blue, as in all even numbered rows, so we start as usual. before with the edge stitch at the beginning of the row and then we go ahead and do three single crochets, the first one lands here in the double crochet and then two and three and then we do a double crochet here just before the last double crochet, okay? and now we do five single crochets over these here so the first one lands here on the high point and the fifth one is also okay, so that's five single crochets here and now we do another double crochet here towards the blue and now we're I'm going to do five single crochets followed one and two and the third should land here on the double crochet here in the middle three no four and five and then there is another double crochet here just before the next double crochet and again five here over one two three four and five the first was in the first double crochet and the fifth here in the second and then we do a double crochet and we finish with three single crochets the last one goes into the double crochet here and then We do the edge stitch at the end of the row, we cut the thread , we make a chain and we pass it well, so now you can clearly see that the pattern shows and comes out, so that was row 10.

And we move on to row 11. and let's start by looking at the box, so in row 11 we start with the edge point, then there are three double crochets here three single crochets one double crochet three single crochets and then five double crochets three singles one double three single and then three double crochets here at the end and then the edge point yes and now we are working with the main color with white here color a and as always we start with the edge stitch at the beginning of the row a chain and a single crochet in both loops of the first stitch and now we start working, now we are going to start closing the pattern, so now we're going to work more double crochets in a row again and now we're going to do three double crochets here, so yarn over the first one goes to a double crochet of the bottom row two rows down sorry one and two and three okay and the next one is three single crochets the first one goes here to the four in the double crochet always in the back loop two and three and now we do a double crochet here in the middle it's supposed to be centered between these two here another three single crochets one and two and the third lands in the double crochet here like this and now we're going to do five double crochets here to cover all of this here, so the first one goes here in the stitch right after dc one two, the third goes to dc three no four, sorry and the fifth, so that's five dc in a row there and then We're going to do three single crochets, the first one here in the back loop of the three double crochets and again we're going to do a double crochet here in the middle that's centered between these two like this and then three single crochets in the last one. one goes to the double crochet and then we finish with three double crochets like we did at the beginning so that it reflects one, two and three, the last one goes to the double crochet and then there is the edge stitch at the end of the row and a chain and pulling from it all the way up as you can see we're almost there the pattern is emerging yeah how fun so that was around row 11. to row 12. it's just two more rows and then we're done so let's see the chart, so this is pro 12, which is a row of even numbers, so it's blue, with the pattern color and we start with the edge point at the beginning of the row, then we have one, two, three, four , five points of single stitch. crochets then a double crochet single crochet and a double crochet and now we have one two three four five six seven eight nine single crochets one double crochet one single crochet one single one double and we finish it with five single crochets and then the edge stitch and we start with the edge stitch at the beginning of the row as always a chain just to hold it and a single crochet in it and now we have five single crochets and the first one goes here in the first dc of the last row one, two and three. in all the dc of the last row and then a couple more fours and fives and now we're going to frame this one up here, we'll do a double crochet on this side and a double crochet on this side, so we'll knit the yarn over in one. double crochet here a single crochet in the double crochet a double crochet on the other side so we've done one on each side here and now we have nine single crochets first in these two single crochets of the last row and then over these five then the seventh land here in the last dc of the five dc we did in the last row and eight and nine and then we're going to frame this one also a dc here and a dc here, so one dc before the double crochet one single crochet in the back loop of the double crochet and then a sc here on this side as well and then we finish with five single crochets, four and five and then the edge stitch at the end of the row and a chain to hold it, okay!

Now we're almost there, just one more row to go to row 13, which is the last row of this pattern. Let's look at the diagram as usual, so now we're working with the main color white and starting with the edge point. we do five double crochets here three single crochets nine double crochets three single crochets and five double crochets and then always the edge stitch at the end of the row and now we are closing the pattern so that, as you can see, the tiled crochet is It's so effective this way you can really create any pattern you want and you're always using these double crochet stitches to hide the blue this is kind of a filler so now we're going to hide these lines here because we don't want those we just want these here that's the pattern okay the last row of this pattern starts with the edge stitch at the beginning of the row and then we're going to do five double crochets and the first one lands here in the first double crochet of row 11 one two three these first three go here to the double crochet and then there are two plus four and five and now we are going to do three single crochets, first one goes to double crochet and the third in the other double crochet here and now we do nine double crochets here to hide this blue line here, the first one goes here just after the double crochet of last row two and then over all of these so that the third dc lands. in the first sc here of the round of row eleven four five six seven eight and nine look, now we've covered everything and we want to keep these lines, so I'm going to do three single crochets now one and two and three and then Let's cover this here with five double crochet one two three four five and five and then just finish it with the edge stitch as usual and a chain there you have it and as you can see it looks like a graph. let's expand here we go yeah very easy and I mean I try to make all my patterns with charts if possible sometimes it's a little complicated and then I can't but almost all my patterns come with a chart because they really are very easy to use and even if you are not used to working with graphics, I think they should work very well, as you can see, they are very easy to work with and everything is very clear and easy when you work well with them, anyway I love working with charts so I wanted to show them to you so that's it this is the end of our second lesson of the mymosai beginner's guide on how to work with charts and you can use this pattern.

I have used pattern one of my Indiana as I showed you, but you could use just this pattern to make something. Do more reps and make a blanket or a cushion cover or whatever you want. I hope this was helpful again and again. If you have any input or you know you want to make any suggestions, please make some comments and I would love to hear from you in the comments what you want and all your good ideas, that's all for today, thanks uh foreigner.
